First graders in Mrs. Hellenga’s class are learning about living and non-living things. We read a book to learn what makes something living or non-living. Then, students practiced sorting pictures into living and non-living groups. We also played “Vote with Your Feet!” Mrs. Hellenga showed a picture, and students moved to one side of the room if they thought it was living and the other side if it was non-living. It was a fun way to learn and get moving.
